Väyrynenite is a very
rare collector's gem rarely seen in the gem market.
Väyrynenite
is found in facet
grade in a couple locations; Afghanistan and
Pakistan. It was discovered at Viitaniemi, Erajarvi, Finland,
but not gem grade. Very few gems are known to exist
and are typically very small and heavily included. Colors
are pale pink to rose red. To mineral collectors, Väyrynenite
is considered one of the "holy grails" of
rare Pakistani and Afghani mineral species. The other is Triplite which
comes from the same regions.

Distribution:
In the Viitaniemi pegmatite, near Erääjärvi, Finland.
From the Norrö pegmatite, on Rånö Island, and from near
Kapelludden, Utö Island, Sweden. In the Bendada pegmatite,
near Guarda, Portugal. At the Fregeneda pegmatite, Salamanca
Province, Spain. From the Kalba Range, eastern Kazakhstan.
Large crystals found in Broghul Pass, Chitral Valley,
Pakistan.
